Orlando (/ɔrˈlændoʊ/) is a city in the central region of the U.S. state of Florida. It is the county seat of Orange County, and the center of the Greater Orlando metropolitan area. According to the 2010 US Census, the city had a population of 238,300, making Orlando the 79th largest city in the United States. The Greater Orlando metropolitan area has a population of 2,134,411, making it the 26th largest metro area in the United States, the sixth largest metro area in the Southeastern United States, and the third largest metro area in Florida. Orlando is the fifth largest city in Florida, and the state's largest inland city.
Orlando is nicknamed "The City Beautiful" and its symbol is the fountain at Lake Eola. The current mayor is Buddy Dyer. The city is best known for the Walt Disney World Resort (located approximately 21 miles (34 km) southwest of Downtown Orlando in Lake Buena Vista), founded by the Walt Disney Company in 1971, and for the Universal Orlando Resort (which consists of two parks, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, as well as other attractions, including City Walk). Orlando is also home to the SeaWorld theme park, Gatorland, as well as Wet 'n Wild Water Park. With the exception of Walt Disney World, most major attractions are located along International Drive. The city's famous attractions form the backbone of Orlando's tourism industry, making the city the most visited American city in 2009. The city is also one of the busiest American cities for conferences and conventions. Like other major cities in the Sun Belt, Orlando grew rapidly during the 1980s and well into the first decade of the 21st century. Orlando is also home to the University of Central Florida, which is the second largest university in the United States in terms of enrollment (as of 2011).
I was sitting naked in a holiday inn down in Orlando
And it was the morning of the last day of the year
I didn't know who I was and I thought I might've been Evan Dando
But if I was him than what the hell was I doing here
So I asked myself one simple question
What would I do with the rest of my life
If I knew I couldn't fail I guess I'd get the hell
Out of Orlando and find me a rich and beautiful wife
Cause I don't want to do a damn thing
And I want to be appreciated
And I want to get paid well
And I don't want to be hated
I don't want to do a damn thing except lie in the sun
And be loved loved loved loved loved by everyone
So I called up the front desk to see if I could rent a porno
They said you better have a credit card I said honey I'm pretty hard up
But I ain't got no visa I said honey could you please uh help me
She said she was sorry but I think she was just disgusted
And I was kinda disgusted myself cause it had all come down to this
And I felt like a pervert but goddamn it gets lonely
When you're sitting in your hotel room naked as a jaybird
Down in Orlando in the middle of the night
So I called up an old friend to see how he was doing
But he sounded like a robot and it was like I barely knew him
So I said I had to go then I couldn't take it any longer
You know the desire to throw my naked body out the fifth floor of the Holiday Inn kept getting stronger
I tried to take a cold shower but I couldn't get my nerve up
I just sat in that hotel room and tried to cut my own hair
That was the worst idea that I had all day
But goddamn it gets lonely down in f.l.o.r.i.d.a.
Then I thought to myself just what the hell was a jaybird
And just what the hell does it look like and what the hell am I doing
So I tried to write a song about it but this is all I got
You know I sang it for your girlfriend and she said she liked it a lot
Except the part about killing myself and the part about trying to find a rich wife
She said you should have gone to sea world you might have had a better time
I said honey thanks for the input thanks for the advice
But I think that the only way I'm ever going back to Orlando is if I live life twice
Cause I don't want to do a damn thing
And I want to be appreciated
And I want to get paid well
And I don't want to be hated
I don't want to do a damn thing except lie in the sun
Like a shadow .............. me nowhere.
I try to understand
Stormy wheather I've been lonely, starting to the end
That's the lie again, through the night
Where ain't no place to go and
Wasting water.
It's all right and maybe riffling water
It's only the same
Wasting water.
It's all right and maybe riffling water
It's only the same
Don't you know that love is feeling
Something share in smile
Time is changing, don't you hear me.
Think about your life
That's the lie again, through the night
Memories of you takes me back in time
In my lovely heart feeling this lonely night
Memories of you are a part of me
Tell me when you're back losing a game to me
How can I carry on. (carry on, carry on)
Seems so far away (seems so far away)
Now surrender me (now surrender me)
And this love never ends
Memories of you, one of us is crying
In this lonely bed feeling this lonely mind
Memories of you, waiting for a call from you
I hear your voice screaming into my music
I had to rise .............. now for I'm moving
I'd like to know you're ..............
About fall in love, fall in love
Closing the door at my shoulders I'm waiting
Living today it's my new life and growing
Searching for my time I'm feeling so good
Deep inside about my life
Baby, let me go. I cannot stay with you
Let me go. I don't wanna live with you
Let me go. I want to change all my life.
You are so blind
Stay here in silence I look at the window
Maybe you'll find something looks like a rainbow
.............. let me down for yourself
Like you're falling in love, fall in love
Singing the song I have found my religion
Waiting for you I have seen my confusion
I feel you faith that you answer my questions tonight
Driving down the downtown streets
When the night come along the way
Never mind, just feel a breeze
There's a fire inside me again
I need you and your beautiful eyes
I need you, I've been waiting so long tonight
I need you but I can't get away
From this state of mind
You know you're breaking my heart
(I break your heart, I break your heart)
There is no other way
You know you're breaking my heart
(I break your heart, I break your heart)
Oh-oh-oh. You know you're breaking my heart
Walking down along the beach
Tell me why you're so far away
I'm alone and I can't sleep
I am lost, I can't find my way
I need you and your beautiful eyes
I need you and your beautiful eyes
I need you, I've been waiting so long tonight
I need you but I can't get away
